This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

2 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. DNS health

    DNS sends visitors and email to the right servers. Misconfigured records can cause outages or let someone redirect your traffic.

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

The organization positions itself as a key regional tourism authority, offering services that include destination marketing, event promotion, and business trip facilitation. Its business model focuses on providing tourism-related information and services to visitors and local businesses. The website links to partner tourism sites such as Morges Tourisme, indicating a collaborative ecosystem. The content quality and branding are consistent, supporting a positive market presence. Revenue streams likely include tourism promotion funding and partnerships. The absence of direct contact details on the site suggests a focus on information dissemination rather than direct sales or support.

Security posture

The website demonstrates a solid security foundation with HTTPS enabled and multiple security headers in place. The use of a reputable cookie consent management platform ensures compliance with privacy regulations. No vulnerabilities or exposed sensitive data were detected in the analyzed content. However, the lack of published security policies and incident response contacts represents a gap in transparency and readiness. The site does not expose any critical security flaws, but improvements in security documentation and accessibility would enhance its posture.

Recommendations

  1. Publish a dedicated security policy page outlining security practices and compliance.
  2. Provide clear incident response contact information to improve transparency and readiness.
  3. Enhance accessibility features to meet higher standards and improve user experience.
  4. Consider adding direct contact information for business inquiries and support.
  5. Regularly review and update cookie and privacy policies to maintain GDPR compliance.

Technical notes

Notes

The website is built on the MyCity Tourism Information System CMS, utilizing modern JavaScript libraries and third-party services such as Google Tag Manager and Facebook Pixel. The presence of a cookie consent banner powered by CookieYes indicates attention to privacy compliance. Performance is moderate with asynchronous loading of scripts and responsive design elements. The site is mobile-optimized and SEO-friendly with proper meta tags and Open Graph data. Technical debt appears low, but hosting provider details are not explicit. Overall, the technical infrastructure supports the business goals effectively with room for minor enhancements in accessibility and performance optimization.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
